Toy Story 4 Movie Review | A Solid Epilogue to the Franchise

On paper Toy Story 4 isn't necessary and yet the film proper does a great job of justifying its existence to where it serves as a solid epilogue to the trilogy of films before it. Toy Story 4 takes all the themes of the previous films and adds in the wrinkle of what it means to find purpose in life. Definitely a must watch film especially for the kids and its tearjerker for sure. 3BG rating: 9 out of 10 Like us on Facebook /Join our Facebook Group /Follow us on Twitter...

Shaft (2019) Movie Review | A Surprisingly Entertaining time

Shaft is a very interesting franchise rooted in its blaxsploitation roots. 19 years ago, John Singleton gave us an updated version starring Sam Jackson in the role. It was an ok movie overall that had some over the top moments. So this followup sequel on first glance seems like a cash grab but it ends up being a pretty good film mainly because of writer Kenya Barris making the dialogue believable and not over the top stupidity. The entire cast does there job in the respective roles and it ends u...

MiB International Movie Review | Back to Basics

The MiB franchise for the most part has been a fun watch with the animated series doing the heavy lifting in terms of fleshing out the lore. In comes MiB International which has a very back to basic approach in that it uses the plot framework of the first film with a different set of circumstances and for the most part it works. Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth have such a good chemistry with each other that it helps the film out big time. Plus the film ultimately knows its a fun ride and that...

X-Men Dark Phoenix Review | Underwhelming Franchise Ender

The X-Men franchise has been a very hit and miss movie affair. Dark Phoenix is in a position where on one hand, its a way better movie than X-Men Apocalypse but the flipside is that once again we're getting a movie about the Phoenix. While the film doesn't fall into the trappings that The Last Stand did, it still ends up falling short in bringing together a competent narrative and alot of that has to do with the short runtime and lacking the pieces that makes the story work so well in the comic ...

Brightburn Movie Review | Wasted Potential

Ever seen a movie that had a good premise but ultimately botches that premise by doing not a damn thing with it? Well thats Brightburn in a nutshell. A movie that has the makings of something great but does nothing with it. 3BG rating: 3 out of 10 Like us on Facebook /Join our Facebook Group /Follow us on Twitter

Godzilla: King of The Monsters

2014 Godzilla did a lot right but left a lot to be desired. This go round, they got everything right. From the pacing, to the direction/cinematography, to monsters and Godzilla. It's a US Godzilla that feels like a Toho film. Go to the theaters watch this one! 3BG Rating- 9 out of 10 Like us on Facebook /Join our Facebook Group /Follow us on Twitter...

John Wick 3 Review | A Solid, Kick-Ass Sequel

Very rare do you see a movie franchise constantly one up itself with every sequel and the John Wick films do just that.

The Color Purple is a can of worms. It contains issues the black community deals with to this day. Pedophiles, the treatment of black women, the social structure of the black community then and now...It's a whole lot of shit. Yet somehow this is one of most funniest and most earnest shows we have ever had. We have 2 good reasons why this movie is still good for black people! We are joined by three ladies in this to get their side of this movie. Some of the most fun we had.

3BG at the Movies| Shazam!

So DC/WB has been on a bit of a roll in terms of distancing themselves from what came before. Shazam accomplishes the simple goal of just telling a story and letting the chips fall where it goes. The story is simple and effective, the cast is great, and the action is fun to watch. So sit back and listen as CJ and Dee discuss this film and comic book movies in general.
